Method for producing grain-oriented electrical steel sheet and cold-rolling facility

Abstract

In a method of producing a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet comprising subjecting a steel slab containing no inhibitor-forming components to hot rolling, cold rolling, primary recrystallization annealing working also as decarburization and to final annealing causing secondary recrystallization after applying an annealing separator on the surface, the final cold rolling for cold rolling the steel sheet to the final thickness uses a warm rolling with a tandem rolling mill at a total rolling reduction of not less than 80% at 150 to 280° C. and is performed by extending a pass line length of the steel sheet between the stands so that T satisfies T≥1.3×L/V, where an distance between the stands is defined as L(m), a speed of the steel sheet passing between the stands is defined as V (mpm), and a pass time during which the steel sheet passes between the stands is defined as T(min).
